Chapter 73: Travel invitation

『You’re in love with her, aren’t you?』

Lydia came alone to my prison today. She gave me a message from Titania and gave me lovely comments afterwards.

『Yes. Me and Miss are in love.』

I don’t deny it either. I’m proud of it. Lydia was laughing hysterically.

The message from Titania was, “I’m fine, and I can’t wait to see you again. I was honestly happy, one cocoon may fall, but a butterfly will flutter somewhere. I trust your heart and love, and I’m coming to see you again,” I asked her to send this message to Titania. Lydia was impressed by the classical style.

『That woman’s manners are very beautiful. She looks like a nice young lady.』

That’s right. Lydia knew that.

I have a delusion that she might have originally been a princess of some kind. Just the thought of a captive princess sucking on my dirty stick and begging for a drink raises my heart rate.

『Oh, so. Today, while I was talking to your girlfriend, I was approached from behind by Tulyal-san.』

『Tulyal who?』

『Tiriel’s brother.』

That elf guy, his name is Tulyal?

『I was surprised because I didn’t expect to find Tulyal-san in the cell block. Maybe I didn’t think my excuse was good enough. I said something like I was worried about Ferris and was checking on you as his bodyguard, but thinking about it later, it seemed really unnatural.』

『What did Tulyal say?』

『Don’t get too close to the Butcher. I don’t want you to get too close to that butcher…… I think Tulyal-san is kind of scary. It’s not like he’s done anything to me, but there are rumors that he’s a part of Orlando-san inner circle and that he does some dangerous underworld work.』

『Orlando?』

『Yeah. He’s an orc general……. Well, Gevaudan doesn’t know aren’t you. Faymbaum is ruled by three generals. Orland is in charge overall. Dantalion, the demon, is in charge of the army. And Ferris’s sister, Phoenicia, is mainly in charge of internal affairs.』

…… Suddenly there are so many names I can’t remember them all!

The name of the city is Faymbaum. The orc officer is Orland. The demon officer is Dantalion. And the perverted fox lady is Phoenicia…..the nickname is so much easier to remember.

『The other day, Phoenicia-san told me that Gevaudan is favored by Dantalion-san and Phoenicia-san. Orlando-san hasn’t let his guard down, but he does recognize your usefulness. That’s great, Gevaudan.』

So, I’m actually in a position close to the top people.

It’s a satisfying feeling like you’ve been working diligently and before you know it, you have a loyal fan. Yay!

『Is Tulyal angry with me for what I did to Tiriel?』

『What? Gevaudan, what did you do to Tiriel?』

This is a secret, I said and told her how I had humiliated Tiriel until she was covered in my seed.

『Ohh!? That’s why……. That’s why Tiriel turned blue every time she saw you…….』

Lydia nodded her head in understanding.

『It could be…….I’ve heard that Tulyar is a siscon. Tiriel didn’t like being overprotected by such a big brother. She doesn’t like being tied down, so she wants to keep her distance. So she may not have told Tulyar-san directly, but he may have heard about it through Orlando-san.』

Siscon?

I thought it would be more on a grand scale, something like the……elves continuous noble blood being stained by the Butcher. It was totally different. The problem is just a little silly. And that’s why Tiriel looks so annoyed with him……

『If Tulyal harasses you in any way regarding anything to do with me, you can come to me. Lydia, if you have any other problems, I can help you. If you want violence, I can solve it.』

I also appealed to Lydia about my usefulness and dependability. She chuckled, “Uh-huh” she said, 『It doesn’t sound like a joke when Gevaudan says it.』

I’m not joking, though, it didn’t go over well.

『So, Gevaudan. Let’s go on a trip together sometime!』

A sudden invitation to travel.

No way, a date alone with Lydia? Will the day finally come when gal vs. butcher will be on stage at a hot spring inn? It’s exciting.

『Well, it seems that it’s systematically very troublesome for me to take Abigail out. So, you know, I heard that Gevaudan took Abigail on an expedition before. That gave me an idea.』

Oh, that’s too bad.

『Ferris has an errand to run in Mifosis, and you’ll be her escort. If I accompany you as a friend, you can take Abigail with you, right? …… Oh, so Mifosis is our planet.』

Another world…… I wonder what it’s like.

I’m sure Abigail will be in a better mood once we get out there. The reason she’s been so curt lately is because she’s a little stressed out. I’m sure.

『Fine.』

You’re dealing with the Butcher, so why don’t you just take me out, no questions asked? I love that you came all this way to ask me.

『Yay! Then I’ll tell Ferris about it! By the way』

Lydia smiled and struck a gut pose, then looked around my prison and continued curiously.

『No girls today?』

There is no rest day for me. In my spare time, I have to be a stallion and breed captive girls. But today, the prison was quiet.

I don’t know the specifics of the situation, but it does happen sometimes. I don’t know the specifics, I guess it could be the woman’s physical condition, or the aliens’ convenience, or whatever.

『I’m alone today. It happens sometimes. It’s quiet and weird.』

It was indeed awkward to be standing there naked and alone, and today I had just put on a paper bag and an apron and was lost in thought in a corner of the room.

『Hmmm……so let’s go on a date.』

Seriously?

『Today, Ferris couldn’t play because She was preparing for the trip, and school was closed, so I am free. Is there somewhere you want to go, Gevaudan? I’ll take you there.』

『Seriously? I’d love to go to your room.』

『Oh, but you can’t do anything naughty. I don’t want Ferris to hate me for doing that when she’ not around.』

Gunununu……

My throat rumbled unconsciously. Lydia saw this and giggled.

There was nothing special to do, so I go on a date with Lydia.

We went to the theater. Lydia seems to have a deep knowledge of the arts. It was too unexpected. I love the gaps.

As a result of taking a seat in the front row, the Butcher was sitting right in front of the stage.

At first, all the performers were surprised, but it was interesting to see how they immediately continued their performance as if nothing had happened. They are professionals, aren’t they? I feel empathy for them.

By the way, I don’t understand a single micron of the alien language, so it wasn’t interesting at all. According to Lydia, it was a story about a hero and a demon king. It’s a pity because it looked much more interesting than a human drama in terms of pictures.

but still, it was somewhat uplifting to be taken around town by a gal. It was also nice to be able to have a conversation with her, as opposed to being dragged around by Ferris.

『I’ve never talked so much in one day. It’s fun.』

I was impressed by the look on Lydia’s face when she looked back at my casual remark while she was holding my finger.

I was also very satisfied with the way she explained the structure of the city to me.

The general stores and lingerie stores were very interesting, but I really liked the weapon shops. Being a former soldier.

Now I won’t have to worry about weapons when I attack this town.

I chuckled to myself as Lydia and I enjoyed a cup of tea at an outdoor cafe the cheesecake is delicious!
